Thats because the school doesn\'t make any money off of fresh fruit or produce. If you had simply used the vending machines located all around your school and had the kids each buy a snickers, twix, etc bar and then broken them in half there would have been no problem. Plus you would be contributing to the growing diabetes epidemic in this country, which in turn will pump money into our health care system by causing people to need more medicines and have to go to the doctor more often, which would drive up insurance rates, which would drive down the amount people take home each week post tax while supporting the school by helping to support candy companies, plus you could have shown them how all the money is now gone because they had less to begin with because of higher health costs, shaping them into good little consumers. You could then use it as another way to show them fractions, introducing them to how much that candy bar will cost them at 20% instrest on a credit card if they only pay the mininum balance each month.
It\'s really your own fault robyn, you should have been fired for trying to use fresh fruit. What were you thinking?
